Amazon shoppers are swooning over a timeless fragrance that’s seen a staggering near-£40 discount. The Elizabeth Arden Provocative Women Eau de Parfum, typically retailing at £55 for a 100ml bottle, is now available for £16.95.
The perfume bursts into life with a vibrant blend of quince, ginger, lotus, raspberry and peach, before mellowing into a heart of orchid, pink freesia, apricot and papaya. This sweet scent is perfectly counterbalanced by a robust base comprising sandalwood, amber, hinoki wood, red amber, white tea and cedar.
Crafted by the renowned Loc Dong, famed for Olympea by Rabanne (£59) and Calvin Klein Euphoria (£94), alongside Jean-Marc Chaillan, known for his work on DKNY Delicious Night (£28), this scent has garnered widespread acclaim.
With an impressive average rating of 4.4 out of 5 from 785 global reviews on Amazon, customers can’t get enough of it. One delighted customer shared: “I have worn it for decades it has been my daily go to and always reminds me of happy days in the wedding industry. It is stylish, sexy and uplifting. The price is always great for the quality and I hope that Amazon continues to find stockists so I can continue to wear my favourite scent for years to come!”
Someone else had a slight issue, but was still happy. They said: “My absolute favourite! Smells incredible and I cannot get enough of it, just a pity this fragrance has never stayed long between sprays”, reports the Manchester Evening News.
It’s important to note that the staying power of a perfume can be influenced by how it’s applied, with best results often achieved when sprayed onto clean, well-moisturised skin.
One enthusiast gushed: “I’ve loved this perfume for over 20 years! An old favourite that I love to still be able to buy! Would highly recommend! Its a very distinctive scent, not flowery or sweet, its name rings true to the scent!”.
Another aficionado chimed in: “Bought this perfume on a whim, but also because of the reviews. I hate sweet floral perfume, which apparently I’m supposed to wear at my age 59. I love woody, spicy, musky, classy but sexy perfumes. (I am still alive). Am I provocative? YES. Is this perfume gorgeous? YES. My new favourite.”
